workers performance?
We all know that efficiency is one of the main reasons contractors start using mast climbers.
Compatibility
WHAT TYPE OF MCWP do you presently own? In the future, will you be able to purchase additional equipment to complete your fleet? Can you easily find additional used equipment that would be compatible? What will be the resale value in a couple of years? Having a short-term view can offer immediate benefits but can sometimes play tricks on you when looking long term.
In conclusion, buying used equipment directly from the manufacturer usually represents an additional cost. But when analyzed properly, these costs can often be offset by the manufacturer's warranty or hidden costs related to the topics addressed earlier in this article. When you look at the big picture, finding a great deal doesn't always mean finding the cheapest purchase price. IMAS
